Here is a song I very nearly posted during my "songs I like from albums I don't like" motif. It's true, as successful as Pearl Jam's 1991 breakthrough album Ten was, I really didn't care much for it. For the most part, I found it a little bit pretentious - and a whole lotta boring.
I know that opinion will rub some people the wrong way. And even though this may be my anti-lead singer bias talking, I find Eddie Vedder to be, for lack of a better term, a twerp. People wanna call him a "god"? Bulls**t. Gods don't sing flat.
I like "Black" a lot, however. This is the one Pearl Jam tune that kinda makes me understand why this band was so huge.
Kinda.
Oh, as a side note, a few days ago I posted my sixth song title that begins with the word "one." Well, today marks the sixth song beginning with the word "black." Make of that whatever you will.
Watch a fan-made video for "Black" on YouTube. It's another one of those misheard lyrics ones.
Watch a live performance.
